ELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE
Dir. Oren Rudavsky | USA | 2024 | 87 min. | English/Romanian/Hebrew | Documentary
Offering an intimate and unprecedented look into the life and legacy of Elie Wiesel, one of the most profound voices of our time. With exclusive access to Wiesel’s family and personal archives, the film delves into the passions, struggles, and enduring impact of a man who became a powerful voice for human rights.
The film traces Wiesel’s journey from his childhood in Sighet, Romania—a close-knit Jewish community devastated and destroyed in the Holocaust—to his emergence on the world stage, where he became a beacon of universal human values. Though he identified as a simple storyteller, Wiesel’s narratives grappled with profound questions of faith, justice, and humanity. His story is not one of easy answers but of deep inquiry, reminding us that sometimes the questions we ask are more important than the answers we seek.
Wiesel’s books will be available for sale in the Belcourt lobby by Parnassus Books.
